What happened

The Landlord applied for eviction after the Tenant breached a mediated settlement agreement by failing to pay a $1,000 arrears installment. An eviction order was initially issued without a hearing. The Tenant filed a motion to set aside that order, citing a failed personal loan and health issues. The Board reviewed the Tenant's financial sustainability and the circumstances of the breach.

The ruling

The Tenant's motion to set aside the eviction order was denied. The Board found that the Tenant breached the mediated settlement and that the tenancy was no longer financially sustainable. The stay of the previous eviction order is lifted effective August 31, 2025, allowing the Landlord to proceed with eviction.
